  • I've been interested in this since I knew it was coming. 80$ seems really expensive though. I've been using this JK mic: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009YCI62Y/ with my Wireless GO and it's been about a perfect pair. The head on it is also tiny so it's easier to hide and even when it's visible it's not too obvious.

  • @Firworks I'm surprised the JK is working for you. I had no luck would constantly get a high pitched whine. I had some super cheap neewer mics that worked but had to return the JK tried both the Sennheiser version and the Zoom both had the whine. Did you do something special?

    Look for B&H Senal branded lavs.

    They are superb not only in sound, but also in perfect accessories kit to mount it.

    Not cheap, but wait for sale and you will remember me with warm words.

  • @Vitaliy_Kiselev Thanks for heads up. Any opinion on the CL-6 vs OLM-2 I can pick up the CL-6 for $45.56 with Educational discount today only. The OLM-2 is $63.96.

  • @Scot

    Senal UTM-86 is their best model.

    Thing I like is that they really care about real usage and have very rich sound.

    The CL-6 is such a deal and tiny I think I'll take a risk. Plus somebody in reviews had the identical issue I had with JK and said the CL-6 worked. I'll post back when I get it.
